Regarding the show: “Hoarding: Buried Alive” I watch this show with love and compassion in my heart for the "stars" of the episodes. I can identify with them to some extent. I have saved many things because "I can use them when I get around to it!" However, I now want to de-clutter my home, and am physically unable to do so. Long, long story short, I need help! There are two reasons I cannot ask you folks for help: 1. I rent this house from my sister & brother-in-law, and they would be mortified at the publicity. He, especially, is a painfully private person. 2. Also, you would not get the pathos and phobic resistance from me, which seems to be the emotional appeal in your shows. To prove my determination to throw away as much as possible, There is not much that can be salvaged. I hate to admit that I have lost my battle with roaches. Never have I had so much trouble ridding my place of the pests! Everything, including files, books :-( furniture, etc. is so covered with their feces, that I see no way to clean them.. I am making copies of important papers and sealing them up. The originals, if not something I dare discard, I am sealing up and tucking away. There's a lot more of that to do, however, and my time and energy is taken up in caring for my terminally ill husband. Much more to this story... Just know that I appreciate what you do, and I find inspiration in watching.
